The Buddha did refute that people had these abilities, but that putting faith in them was just a waste of time. Plus, to me, karam and life are based on a mesh of co-arising phenomenon--not a linear script. | |

Imago said: NDRU said: Much as I didn't like the first Bush or the first gulf war, I thought that stuff happened all the time (less publicly) and that it didn't directly affect my life. So I figured, who cares which guy in a suit lies to us? I had few worries when it was Gore v.s Bush. Gore was obviously the best suited for the position, and Clinton's years left 'relatively' little for the nation to cry about--sure there were things that needed adressed, but compared to now? no comparison. So to me, even though, I secretly dreaded the idea of a Bush administration, I never thought I'd see it. I seriously sat stunned when he won. Not just that he won, but like you mentioned that it was even close. It all stemmed from Clinton getting his dick sucked. That's the most shocking part. I was beside myself, and quite angry that Clinton would allow a remarkably successful run at the whitehouse, come to a crashing halt with his stupid ass libido. And equally disturbed that the nation would consider this in it's deicion to elect Bush--I mean, if you thought his answers during the debates with Kerry were bad, I remember laughing and cringing at them when he debated Gore. I simply didn't take him seriously and never thought he'd fuck us over the way he did. I just stuns me that gay rights, women's reproductive rights, and national health car assurances are "issues". Those are givens. Pass them into law, and let's move on. Damn. Seriously, I have to thank George Bush--he got me voting. Remember how scared he looked when he took office? Like he couldn't believe what he'd gotten himself into. That was bad, but then the confidence he has now is even worse. If anyone could prove to a person that it really does matter who is president, it's our current one. It's hard to remember the good ol' days when the worst thing going on was that the President cheated on his wife. My Legacy

Forget voting, kids!
There'll be no real change without serious bloodshed and that is unlikely isn't it small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious! |

I think a lot of people don't have the time or the nerve to sort through all the bullshit that 1 has to get through to become informed. I agree with your statement. peolple need very strong nerves to get through the layrs upon layers of double talk and plain deception. 
Let's hope nobody gets hurt in the process of informing themselves. small circles, big wheels!
